Episode 1: We Do What We Want...
TW: Suicide, Death, Dark Themes, Language
The first of a two party introductory discussion laying the foundation with your Brick Management Team about why we created a podcast, and why we are so interested in bricks.
We also introduce the paranormal Phenomenon known as Synchronicity, and why we became interested in it after watching Hellier.
We promise this is not a "Trauma Podcast," but we have to briefly discuss some (TW:) darker subjects like generations of abuse, suicide, addiction and mental illness, and how SJ's (they/them) choosing a different path than their ancestors primed the way for a life of magick and high strangeness.
Part one focuses on SJ/Sara's introduction to the weird, and how growing up in what they call "The House of Smoke and Mirrors" primed her to notice signs, symbols, patterns and anything unusual.
Also minor blasphemy will occur, because we do what we want. We hope you'll stick around for part two, after we are warmed up and get into some spooky local hauntings!
Episode 2: ...And We Like That.
TW: Suicide, Death, Dark Themes, Language
The second of a two part introductory discussion with Brick Management, on this episode we focus on Andrea's (she/her) early experiences with the weird, and how growing up Catholic helped shape that lens.
In order to understand why Hellier spoke to us so strongly, we have to look back at the trajectory of SJ and Andrea's lives long before we met, and why it seemed to be fated we would be friends.
We'll also discuss why we call the wonderful weirdo known as John E.L. Tenney "Michigan Gandalf," and how the haunted Hayden Island, Oregon seems to be the starting place of what we now affectionally call "The Brick Shit."
And we'll tell a couple of local ghost stories as we start to lay out what's happening around these mysterious Hidden bricks.
